Why not try to bake one? Who said you have to eat it!

I use rhubarb to clean my pots. Could never think of making it into edible stuff. You have to taste your pie to make sure it is edible. LOL

My husband makes a lovely rhubarb pie. I'm sure he'd give you one to drive to West Virginia.

Well, there's a another glitch:

Residents in Morgan, Berkeley and Jefferson counties may enter.


And knowing that that article is from West Virginia, they really meant to say, Only residents.....

Of course, I should be respectful towards the state that invented the toothbrush.

OMG I love rhubarb. If it wasn't going to get smashed up and look like Jim from American Pie had had sex with it by the time it got off the airplane, I'd bake on and send it to ya
